active_model-permalink

ActiveModel::Permalink

ActiveModel::Permalink generates permalinks for your ActiveModel objects. It includes support for Mongoid.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'active_model-permalink'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install active_model-permalink

Usage

ActiveModel::Permalink generates permalinks for your objects as part of a before_validation callback. It uses the following attributes in order to generate from (provided these are present):

• name
• title

In case the permalink attribute is present already, it won't bother to change it. See the specs for more information about the behavior.

With simple ActiveModel classes

class MyClass
  # Make sure you are using a real ActiveModel object
  extend ActiveModel::Callbacks
  include ActiveModel::Validations
  include ActiveModel::Validations::Callbacks

  include ActiveModel::Permalink

  attr_accessor :name, :title, :permalink
end

my_instance = MyClass.new
my_instance.name = 'My Name'

my_instance.valid? # this triggers the callback that is used to ensure a permalink is present
my_instance.permalink
# => 'my-name'
